  • pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

    Jump

  • Ceph, GlusterFS, and I suspect SeaweedFS (but I haven't used it) expect high speed, low latency connections to their peers. So they won't work well over the internet.

    There's some info floating around about using IPFS as the backend for Jellyfin, which in theory should allow you to share media between friends, but I haven't tried it.

  • Project idea for learning

    Jump

  • Another (mostly) retired Unix sysadmin here. I never could make Python work in my brain, but last year discovered Svelte/SvelteKit and really like it. I'd always kinda hated on JS, but actually it's pretty nice these days.

  • What keyboard you recommend for coding?

    Jump

  • "dammit emacs" ...

  • OMG I forgot all about WAP gateways ...

  • $500 a year?!? Hey buddy, thanks for looking after our IT systems, here's an extra $1.50 a week ...

  • I Just Need a Programmer

    Jump

  • I see tech people doing this to sales, marketing, and bizdev people sometimes as well. I've created this thing, it's all done I just need someone to sell/market it ...

  • What's your favorite note-taking application?

    Jump

  • same.

  • This should really be standard.

  • I’ve done a lot of tech recruiting. Reference checks are invaluable, especially if you do them over the phone (instead of email/text).

    People are wired to be honest, even about the faults of their friends. Tone of voice, pauses and side comments are often the most useful parts.

    By the time you’re checking references you’re not normally trying to determine if the candidate is psycho or incompetent, you’re trying to figure out the specifics. Are they going to be a good fit for the team? How will they handle the stresses, structures, or freedoms of the role? What kind of support are they likely to need and can the team realistically provide it?

    And to OP, yes. Absolutely, ask to meet with employees. Ask the hard questions, you’ll probably get surprisingly candid responses.

  • which ones do you think I missed?

    Jump

  • I've worked for several very, very rich men. The pattern I notice is that they always get surrounded by people who make sure that they never, ever hear "no".

    Imagine living in a world where every inane thing that comes out of your mouth, somebody immediately makes it their mission to try and make it happen. You no longer get any kind of useful feedback from the world and your opportunities to learn from feedback are greatly reduced.

    I agree, I think in the end, it does make them crazy.

  • how much backing up would you do of a media server?

    Jump

  • I’ve lost my music collection twice. Once when I gave away all my cds in a fit of minimalism, once when our house got broken into and they took all our cds.

    It’s farking annoying and takes forever to get all your music again. At the very least make sure you have a list of albums so you can remember what you had.

  • Should I move to Docker?

    Jump

  • Yeah, so worth it! The first time I moved a service to a new box and realised all I had to do was copy the compose file and docker-compose up -d ... I was sold.

    Now I'm moving everything to Docker Swarm which is a new adventure. :-)

  • Miniflux?

  • Should I move to Docker?

    Jump

  • Another old school sysadmin that “retired” in the early 2010s.

    Yes, use docker-compose. It’s utterly worth it.

    I was intensely irritated at first that all of my old troubleshooting tools were harder to use and just generally didn’t trust it for ages, but after 5 years I wouldn’t be without.

  • Self-Hosting Email - Software Recommendations?

    Jump

  • I'm really liking the look of stalwart, but it's quite new. Mailu seems to be pretty nice, good features and not too resource heavy. Mailcow does everything, but it's a 🐷.

  • Linus does not fuck around

  • THIS SO MANY TIMES.

  • She has stitches on her leg. Instead of the cone of shame, she prefers toddler pants with tail hole cut in them.

    Jump

  • Put the cone on yourself and you’ll know instantly why dogs hate it. :-)

    We did the long sleeved thing four one of our collies and it worked great.

  • Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data

    Jump

  • Thinking this through a bit more. It's the server (eg. Signal) that sends the push notifications to Apple/Google. So turning off notifications on your phone presumably means that that Apple/Google doesn't send them to your device. However they are presumably still be going from the server to Apple/Google (because how would Signal know that you've turned notifications off on your phone)?

  • Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data

    Jump

  • I think it means that notifications aren't sent, but it's a good question.

  • It's like a foodie version of a fleeting love story.

  • In my early-20s I remember getting super baked and spending my rent money for the week on Sonic the Hedgehog ice creams.

    At current rent prices that seems insane, but back then I was paying $30 a week for "alcove" in a warehouse. 🤣
